Who is @charcoalfingerss (Tom)?

Tom is a tattoo artist whose blackwork moves seamlessly between bold lines and fine lines, built on dynamic outlines and stipple shading. His style balances clean precision with expressive illustration, staying true to his roots while continuing to evolve.

Tom is known for creating tattoos that heal beautifully and hold their quality over time. One of the most meaningful compliments he received was from a past client who shared that multiple artists at another shop stopped their work just to admire how well his tattoo had healed.

His journey into tattooing was not quick or easy. After years of building his portfolio and consistently showing up shop to shop, his dedication finally paid off. That persistence shapes the way he works today.

Tom specializes in custom designs that bring multiple ideas together into one cohesive piece. He believes tattoos are permanent, and choosing the right artist should always be about quality, care, and long term results.
